útvonalakra

útvonalakra is a Hungarian grammatical form formed from the noun útvonal (route) in its plural and the allative suffix -ra/-re, indicating direction toward or targeting multiple routes. The base word útvonal is a compound of út (road, way) and vonal (line), and it commonly appears in geography, transportation, and planning contexts. When the plural form útvonalak is combined with the allative suffix, the result is útvonalakra, used to express “to routes” or “for routes” in a sentence.

In usage, útvonalakra functions as a complement in constructions that denote direction, focus, or applicability related to routes. It is not a standalone concept but a case form that makes explicit the target of an action or relation. For example, the expression útvonalakra vonatkozó adatok means “data relating to routes” or “data for routes,” where vonatkozó is the relating modifier and útvonalakra marks the target domain. Another example is különböző útvonalakra tervezett ütemterv, meaning “a timetable designed for different routes.”

Phonologically, -ra attaches after the plural -ak, yielding útvonalakra with vowel harmony preserved. The form is common in formal writing and technical documents, especially in fields dealing with traffic management, mapping, or route optimization, where precise targeting of routes is required in descriptions and specifications.
